Welding cobot iBOTone®
A shortage of skilled workers, quality requirements, time pressure in welding technology – the reasons for automating welding processes are both individual and diverse. If you are facing major challenges that make the start of welding automation unavoidable, the next steps should be carefully considered. With the iBOTone® welding robot from ABICOR BINZEL, you can take the smart route: This welding cobot can be programmed and operated so easily and quickly that welding work can be carried out with consistent quality and without downtime, regardless of the batch size. This takes time pressure out of your production and allows you to deploy your skilled employees more effectively. In addition, you can now accept orders that you would not have been able to offer before.
Considerably cheaper to purchase and maintain than an industrial robot, super easy to operate and absolutely user-friendly are just some of the features that you will quickly appreciate about this cobot for welding technology.
The best thing is that no programming knowledge is required to operate it, as the software is designed to be absolutely user-friendly. Therefore, there is no need for long, expensive training courses. Instead, any of your employees can learn how to teach the iBOTone® cobot in just a few minutes.
Make it easy for yourself. The times of shortage of skilled workers, increasing quality requirements and adherence to delivery dates are challenging enough. Use the iBOTone® welding cobot in your production and save money!
Smart: Cobot welding with the iBOTone®
Small series, large series, individual parts – cobot welding robot iBOTone® is the ideal partner for entry into welding automation. Because it is equally suitable for welding individual components as it is for welding small and large series, it solves a wide range of challenges at the same time.
The iBOTone® welding robot is a valuable tool that relieves the welder of monotonous or physically demanding welding work. This provides more time for really demanding welding tasks that require the full expertise of your welding specialists. The iBOTone® welding cobot can be programmed intuitively. This reduces programming times to a minimum. And even more important: you don't need any new, specially trained employees. Anyone who can weld can also learn to operate the iBOTone®. This is how the iBOTone® earns you money.
Smart, agile and powerful, the iBOTone® welding robot can handle almost any welding task. Its mechanically stable and precise design indicates a traditional industrial robot. But at much lower costs for purchasing, programming, conversion and maintenance.
Innovative software
Self-explanatory wizards guide you through the programme and make setup and programming easier. These are very easy to understand so that anyone can ignite the arc and weld the first component in just a few minutes. Programming knowledge is not required.
Operating and teaching waypoints is incredibly quick and easy. If you want to teach without waypoints, it is even quicker and easier. If you need the pendulum function, simply enter the amplitude and frequency for the respective weld seam.
All button functions are absolutely user-friendly and ergonomically designed, and the buttons have a good pressure point. This allows new components to be taught even faster. Thus, the iBOTone® welding cobot is also ideal for small batch sizes. You can even use it to weld individual parts economically.
Advantages
Why is a welding cobot like the iBOTone® such a suitable entry-level solution for welding automation?
- Lower purchase costs than an industrial robot
- Programming and welding components within a few minutes
- Unbeatably simple operation
- Efficient work even in very small series
- Training requirements almost zero
A welding cobot in production means partial automation. The operator still has control over the welding process. Compared to conventional robotic welding, cobot welding is like working with a "colleague" to whom you delegate welding work that is constantly repetitive or one-sided.
These features characterise the iBOTone®:
- Easy teaching/programming
Guide the cobot using the easy teach handle. The iBOTone® is very easy to operate. You can store individual waypoints directly on the torch mount. - Self-explanatory operation
You can operate the iBOTone® and strike the arc in just a few minutes. No need for extensive training and high training costs. - High stability and flexibility
Weld your components with consistent quality using the iBOTone® cobot. From the first to the last workpiece. In conjunction with a robotic welding torch from ABICOR BINZEL, the outstanding repeatability and path accuracy of the iBOTone® ensures consistently perfect, reproducible weld seams. - Also for harsh industrial environments
Die-cast aluminum components and the corresponding seals (protection class IP66) also allow you to use the iBOTone® in very harsh conditions. - CE-approved compact cell for safe welding
On request, the iBOTone® can be supplied with an ABICELL welding cell. Further equipment can be customised according to your requirements. Please do not hesitate to contact us. - Service know-how and process expertise from a single source
If you have any questions/problems/special requests regarding your iBOTone®, you will receive professional support and service from ABICOR BINZEL. Without detours. - All-inclusive package
Our service technicians and product experts are available for you – from setting up the cobot system to process improvements and possible subsequent questions. ABICOR BINZEL takes care of installation, instruction and process optimisation. Customised to your requirements.
Suitable welding torches & power sources for cobot welding
ABICOR BINZEL also offers the appropriate torches and power sources for the best welding results with the iBOTone®.
Torches for robot welding

Looking for a welding specialist? No problem
The shortage of skilled workers is still a major problem in welding production. Being a welder is not an attractive profession. The work is strenuous and often monotonous and physically demanding due to increasing batch sizes and quality requirements. The iBOTone® welding cobot takes over repetitive tasks and relieves the welding specialists. This allows them to return to tasks that require their full expertise.
Efficient automation solutions are becoming increasingly important in welding production. The iBOTone® is such a solution for welding automation – for individual components through to small and large order volumes. It can be programmed to another workpiece so quickly and easily that there is no room for doubt about its economic efficiency.
Housing for the iBOTone®
Wherever welding takes place, harmful fumes, welding spatter, heat and UV radiation are produced. The same applies to cobot welding. ABICOR BINZEL can provide a CE-compliant welding cell especially for cobot welding, the ABICELL. This welding cell is more than just an enclosure.
You can equip the ABICELL welding cell for your iBOTone®, including accessories, to suit your application. Get in touch with us to discuss your requirements and find the right customised solution for you.
